You should defiantly to an exchange, it will be one of the best experiences of your life! I did an exchange to chile, so i speak spanish now, and whenever i read things in italian i can make out a few things, the languages have words that are quite similar, i also know a few chilean people who went to italy for and exchange and they were fluent in 2 months because the language was similar! So go for it! and good luck!

Plane; try ryanair or easyjet

when i was a student and wanted to travel to Europe, my budget was low. I always used coaches (don't laugh) instead of planes! its much cheaper and you get to sightsee many countries that come on the way. Not advisable if your on your own as it can get lonely for a long travel.... go to: www.eurolines.co.uk

It just so happens that I'm going to a wedding in Florence from London so I've recently researched this-:) By train it would take at least a whole day if not longer. By air it would take about 2 hours. www.meridiana.it is the only airline flying direct from London. Or you could go with Easyjet/BA to Pisa and then take a train to Florence.

Avoid Naples. Not a safe city been there. A city full of crime, traffic, dirt. Pick pocketing is a huge problems there. Naples is filthy. Keep well away from it. Place to go to are Florence, Tuscany, plus Siena. Rome is a very expensive city. To keep safe make sure you wear a money belt. That way you avoid pickpocketing in train stations etc. They tend to target foreigners in Italy. Best advice is use common sense when been there.
